Although technically categorized as abstract expressionism, "Estate" by Robert Rauschenberg can still be relevant in a conversation on the abstract & associational films viewed in class. Rauschenberg's juxtaposition of images on his canvas carries the same relationship as the pieces that make up the "abstract" dancer in Ballet Mechanique. There is no clear definition as to what Rauschenberg wants to say through his pieces of work. The overall theme is maintained throughout some of his pieces of work such as 'Estate," but his pieces are so often left up for interpretation. Very appropriate to the conversation, the same can be said about the abstract associational films I have recently viewed.
